Sphingosine Phosphate Lyase Expression Is Essential for Normal Development in Caenorhabditis elegans [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
Sphingolipids are ubiquitous membrane constituents whose metabolites function as signaling molecules in eukaryotic cells. Sphingosine 1-phosphate, a key sphingolipid second messenger, regulates proliferation, motility, invasiveness, and programmed cell ...

Course of Pregnancy in a Woman With Familial Chylomicronemia Syndrome Treated With Plozasiran, a Small Interfering RNA Against ApoC3

open access: yesJIMD Reports, Volume 67, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Persistent chylomicronemia is associated with severe hypertriglyceridemia (sHTG) and plasma triglycerides (TG) levels sustainably > 10 mmol/L (880 mg/dL) despite lipid lowering therapies. The main risk of persistent chylomicronemia is acute pancreatitis (AP). During the second and third trimester of pregnancy, TG levels significantly increase,

Arabidopsis phospholipid modifications mediate cellulase‐induced resistance to a fungal peptide antibiotic by imposing cell polarity

open access: yesNew Phytologist, Volume 249, Issue 2, Page 975-991, January 2026.
Summary Plant‐symbiotic Trichoderma fungi attack microorganisms by secreting antibiotic membrane‐permeabilising peptaibols such as alamethicin. These peptaibols also permeabilise plant root epidermis plasma membranes (PMs), but mild pretreatment with Trichoderma cellulase activates a unique cellulase‐induced resistance to alamethicin (CIRA), via an ...

An immune-adrenergic pathway induces lethal levels of platelet-activating factor in mice

open access: yesCommunications Biology
Acute immune responses with excess production of cytokines, lipid/chemical mediators, or coagulation factors, often result in lethal damage. In addition, the innate immune system utilizes multiple types of receptors that recognize neurotransmitters as ...

Melanoma cells break down LPA to establish local gradients that drive chemotactic dispersal. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
The high mortality of melanoma is caused by rapid spread of cancer cells, which occurs unusually early in tumour evolution. Unlike most solid tumours, thickness rather than cytological markers or differentiation is the best guide to metastatic potential.

Exploring lipid diversity and minimalism to define membrane requirements for synthetic cells

open access: yesFEBS Letters, Volume 599, Issue 24, Page 3569-3590, December 2025.
Designing the lipid membrane of synthetic cells is a complex task, in which its various roles (among them solute transport, membrane protein support, and self‐replication) should all be integrated. In this review, we report the latest top‐down and bottom‐up advances and discuss compatibility and complexity issues of current engineering approaches ...

l-α-Lysophosphatidylinositol (LPI) aggravates myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury via a GPR55/ROCK-dependent pathway [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
The phospholipid l-α-lysophosphatidylinositol (LPI), an endogenous ligand for GPR55, is elevated in patients with acute coronary syndrome, and a GPR55 antagonist cannabidiol (CBD) reduces experimental ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury.

Mfsd2a‐Targeted Therapy for Ischemic Stroke: Mechanisms, Evidence, and Future Prospects

open access: yesCNS Neuroscience &Therapeutics, Volume 31, Issue 12, December 2025.
This graphical abstract illustrates the central role of Mfsd2a in maintaining blood–brain barrier (BBB) integrity under physiological conditions and its dysregulation following ischemic stroke. In the normal brain (left), Mfsd2a is highly expressed on brain microvascular endothelial cells (BMECs), where it inhibits caveolae‐mediated transcytosis and ...

Manipulation of lipid rafts in neuronal cells [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Lipid rafts are specialized plasma membrane micro-domains highly enriched in cholesterol, sphingolipids and glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) anchored proteins.
